A FAMOUS DETECVVyE,

JAMES JACKSON, the famous state
detective, resides in Sing Sing, and is
generally in attendance at the prison,
His duties are to examine earthly the
face OF every convict she enters, and
to scrutinize every visitor in order to
prevent any discharged convict seeing
his pals. Occasionally he has to
make long journeys in pursuit OF rum
away prisoners or to identity GRIM
inals convicted in other states. He
never makes a mistake; if once he
looks a man in the eye he will know
HIM under any disguise, as he tells his
man by the look of his eyes. Once
an escaped convict had his nose pared
down one-third, but Jackson detected
him at once, Notwithstanding this re-
markable change of features. Mr..
jackson is about 5 feet 8 inches 10
height, about 35 years old, OF light
and sinewy build, with black hair and
piercing black eyes, and is altogether
remarkably handsome. He knows
about 10000 criminals, and it is
simply wonderful that he can distin-
guish the features OF every one. On
his long journeys he eats very moder-
ately and alwaystakes one Brandreth
pill at night. When much fatigued by
the jolting OF the cars on his tiresome
trips he uses two Allcock's Porus
Plasters on the small of his back,
which give him renewed vigor and
quickly relieve him Of all WEAKNESS.
These are the only two remedies he
uses, and he attributes his vigor and
remarkable health to Allcock's Porus
Plasters and Brandreth's Pills.-Sine

that several weeks ago he invested a
small sum in tickets in the March

A Rage for wearing Mem. Clothes.

The women OF San Francisco are being
seized with the mania OF wearing mems
clothes. There have been many more scan
dals OF this character lately than have ever
got into the columns OF the daily press.
There is something delightfully."- morbid
about reversing ones sex. And there are
few things delightfully."- morbid to which the
women 81 San Francisco havenot attained.
Nothing, indeed, shows how fast this gay
young town is becoming old in sin like
Paris, Vienna and Berlin. The strangest
thing about it all is that women invariably
think they are disguised when dressed up
as men. Even the ingenious Nine. Dude
ant George SANDY thought to enter q
Trappist monastery disguised as a young
man.. Her failure to do this is historic:
"Sir!' said the porter, gravely, 1--WE do not
permit ladies to enter hers."-San Fran

The Texas Revolution.

The political revolution in Texas is one
OF great importance not only to the Safe
but to the Nation. When the prohibltory
amendments were subj scted BY vote Of
the legislature, to the people it was far
from the calculation of the democrats
that the contest would be any other than
that marked out by the old party lines.
The surprise of the party may be imagined
when one bv one, its most prominent and
influential members slipped from he ranks
and Joined the prohibtory party. The
prohbitionists comprise the mtiorjty of the
republicans who in all States have cham
pioned temperance reform legislation. The
additions received from the democratic
party, greatly augmented republican in-
fiuence since the best. most respectable
and influential men of the State were ar
rayed together upon the same side of
the same issue. The democrats were
with but one or two exceptions, directed by
Younger and politically inexperienced
leaders. the tools of the saloon-keepers
and brewers. and the anti prohibition vote
was cast BY the aioritv of the democratic
party and by the supporters of the saloons.
The returns from the election although
as vet unofficial. indicate an an'i-prohibition
majority of about $4,000. Even should this
majority be increased to $4,000, it would
still show that ia great political disturbance
had taken place in the State. where ia the
last election the democrats had a majority
of 1900. The contest has been most
bitter. Old parties have been entirely lost
sight of. The determined spirit OF both
parties h IS severed all political connections
and sacrificed everything for success, and

although the prohibitionists have been de-
feated, they have not been disheartened.
The issue has only become living issue
and one for which many more fierce con-
tests will be fought. The old party lines
are broken for some time; it may be, per-
manentlv. The democrats who have seeded
from their party will continue to act with
the republicans. either joining them or
assuming an independent position. 1t is
possible that an independent party may be
formed which will act with the republicans
on this issue. By such an arrangement
the prohibitionists could perhaps in few
years get control of the legislature and
again present amendments to the people.
This harmony of action may also lead
to united action on other matters, which
will necessitate the election of national
representatives and senators. 1t has al
ready been so intimated by those interested.
Congress NAV find among its members
some more independents who will put in
good work with the republicans. The
possibilities in the future Of Texas politics
render the situation most interesting and
future contests will receive attention
which heretofore has not been exhibited.

The COlOred People i'm Kansas.

The convention of the coiored men of
southwest Kansas, held at Hutchinson last
week. disclosed state of facts worthy Of
thoughtful attention. Nearly if not quite all
the people represented have moved into
Kansas inside of the last twelve years. The
".xoduses' of colored people from South
Carolina, North Carolina Tennessee, and
other parts of the south are now half for
gotten events that once attracted much atten-
ton. Mainly to escape local injustice and
persecution, and partly under the Influence
that seems at one time or another to Inspire
individuals and whole races alike to move
toward the setting sun for betterment OF their
condition. thousands of colored people made
their wav to southwest Kansas as best they
could and became pioneers under conditions
that we're adverse in the extreme. A few of
their n mber were well to do, but most of the
blacks that went to Kansas were abjectly
poor. and apparently lily fitted by previous
training and habits of life to achieve
success where to do so involved a
stern conf ct with the rugged forces of un-
tanned nature. Yet the convention referred
TO proves that these people have succeeded
admirably. Their committee on in iustrial
progress reported that the colored people of
southwestern Kansas now own 767 900 acres
of land, valued at 81 225 900, and city and
town property valued at the additional sum of
1865, 900 This is really a remarkable ex-
hlbit of substantial success. 1t is open to
question whether an equal number of white
men settled in the same localities, under pre-
cisey the same material conditions that gov
erned these colored men, would have made
any better showing of accumulation and
progress in every dire elton. They have
sbundsntly proved that with the same iacen.
tives to inspire their efforts their race is capa
bic of displaying in large degree the same
sturdy industry and man. fortiIuie that ami

Cor quering home trnm virgin soil and un-
touched forest. The lesson of the Hutchinson
convention i. one of hope for the colored
race. Chicago N1R.
